Hello, beautiful human!
My name is Life Escobar.
My pronouns are they/them.
I live on the occupied land of the Powhatan people.
I believe that creating art nurtures our connection to ourselves, each other, and life.
I create as an act of healing and as a way to converse with the mystery.
My favorite mediums these days are painting, linocut printing, 35mm photography, collage, dance and video.
I love to help people share stories that honor their healing and support collective liberation. I most often do that through storytelling workshops and video creation.
To learn more about my company, Awake Storytelling, visit our website and follow us on instagram.
If you’d like to talk about collaborating or connecting, reach out to me at lifeescobar[at]gmail.com
The impulse to create is a divine longing.
Your Story Can Change the World
In 2013, I gave a TEDxNYU talk that shared my foundational beliefs about storytelling- how it shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world- and why the world needs the stories we have to share.
I talk about being one of ten kids, my experiences in Palestine and how storytelling can help us interrupt dominant narratives that uphold oppression.
